Do you feel the need, the need for SPEED!!

$49. Satellite Deal extended!  <-- click link for more info

Well, don't worry, we've got you covered.   Your phone lines are poor, cable won't reach, DSL is still a dream, but we'll have your surfing at over 400 Kbps faster than you would believe.   It is now possible to download files, watch videos, speed thru email downloads, and just plain surf with out the wait.  With dish.DoorPI.net we combine your dialup connection with the download speed of satellite.  This gives you the best of both worlds, quick response, high speed downloads, and inexpensive equipment (compared to two satellite systems).

This is a breakthrough for Door and Kewaunee County (or even rural Green Bay).   Previously, the only option was thru national satellite providers and just to buy the equipment was several hundred dollars and up to $70 per month.  Some required two fees, one to them and one to a local ISP like us.  That's all changed with dish.DoorPI.net!  One monthly fee and we take care of it all.  The equipment is only $199. and installation is just $99.  One time activation fee is $49.

All of our plans give you the full speed of up to 400 kbps unlike some other broadband alternatives.  There is no limited number of hours like some others (includes unlimited "attended" use just like our dial-up accounts).  If there is ever a need, the service includes conventional dial-up connections as a backup.  Just think, up to 20 times faster for less the 35 cents per day over regular dialup!  How much is your time worth?

*RUP - Reasonable Use Policy.  Allows you to download over 2500 megabytes without extra charge.  As you go over the base limit the system will gradually slow down your connection as shown below.  Usage is managed on a rolling thirty day total.

Re-activation fee $25.

*DoorPI Dish plans are only available in Door and Kewaunee County, and parts of rural Green Bay, Wisconsin*

Frequently asked questions:

1. How fast is it compared to...?

If you are in the country and normally connect at 26,400 kbps then our dish will be about 15 times faster!  That means a file download that now takes you an hour, will only take about 4 minutes.  Yes, that is minutes instead of hours.  This is great for windows updates, virus updates, viewing family pictures, music, and much more.

2. Can it be used on a laptop/notebook computer?

Yes, a USB adapter is available for $149. additonal.

3. Can I use it on more than one computer?

Yes, since the plans are usage based, you are free to use it on as many computers as you wish.  You will need to have the computers networked and can use the free proxy service built into our software.  The SatDirect(tm) proxy is faster and more efficient the Windows(tm) connection sharing.  You can also use it with a connection sharing program such as WinProxy or use the ICS built in to some versions of MS-Windows(tm).  Our installers can provide you with an estimate for networking your computers.

4. What are the advantages of "One-way" over a "Two-way" satellite system?

5. What if we live out of the area or "go south" for the winter?

No problem, we have thousands of access numbers across the country.  Just call us with the city you need and we'll look it up!  If we don't have access available you can use another ISP with our service for a reduced rate.

6. What are the minimum system requirements? (as of April 1st, 2005)

-Pentium 4 - 800MHz CPU   -28.8k modem
-256 MB of Ram                 -Windows 2000 or XP
-Available PCI slot             -120 MB free hard disk space
-CD-ROM drive                   -Clear view of the southeastern sky

7. How much can I do with 500 Megabytes like the Gold Plan?

That works out to about 177 web pages PER DAY or about 150 mp3 (music) files per month.

RUP - Reasonable Usage Policy
Current RUP is based on cumulative usage over the previous 30 day period.  Users averaging over 16 MB per day will receive service at up to 400 Kbps; those averaging between 16 and 33 MB per day will be limited to 300 Kbps speeds. End users that average between 50 and 83 MB per day will be limited to 100 Kbps.  End-users that exceed an average of 83 MB per day will be restricted to 64 Kbps until the 31st day after their average usage drops to a lower level.  Please note that our studies show that the average user downloads an average of 11 MB per day. All usage tracking will be done on a rolling 30 day average.  The dynamic adjustment chart is as follows:

This table will be adjusted each month as per the average consumption for all users the previous month, but never more than 10% plus or minus at each adjustment point.

Actual user testimonial...

A year and a half ago my wife and I moved to Door county to live and work. I telecommute for IBM as a mainframe software developer. I thought I would be OK with a 56k dial up connection but it turns out the best I can get at our country location is 26k. Not good. So I started looking around at alternatives, Cable is available in Sturgeon Bay but they stopped laying cable 2 miles from our house and have no plans to bring it out here. DSL is probably still years away.

So I started looking into two way satellite, specifically Starband(tm). Some of my associates have tried it and were able to get it to work for them. So I found a local provider and had it installed. It wasn't cheap. $850 of hardware and installation plus a $70 a month fee. A 1 yr contract was also required. Initially it seemed to be the answer, but after a few months I started having intermittent disconnects, some of my applications didn't work any better than dial up and periodically it would go out completely because of bad weather and the position of the sun. At certain times of the year the Sun was right behind the satellite, since the uplink is a radio transmission to the satellite the sun would block out the signal from reaching the satellite. So you were effectively offline. I struggled with this through last fall and other problems like very slow response times in the afternoon.

As my contract was nearing it's end with Starband(tm), I started looking for alternatives. I just happened upon your website which I still had in my favorites list. I started looking through your information there and discovered you were offering a one way satellite internet service. I had heard from other associates of mine the one-way satellite works with our systems, but I was a bit skeptical, so I called you and asked if I could test out my applications on your service. I came into your office and was able to get online in just a couple minutes. I found that the performance of ALL my applications were outstanding, far superior to using Starband(tm). I have been using the service for about 2 1/2 months now. It has been great. No outages. Your service has saved me a lot of grief and money too. I was able to sell my Starband(tm) equipment for about what I paid for the new equipment for your satellite service, and the monthly fee is less too. Your technical support is been great too. I just want to say thanks for bringing this service to Door County.
